- Only that you shuold post flyers on telephone poles, etc., in
- addition to leaving them on doors. Do this at least 1/4 to
- 1/3 mile radius around where the cat disappeared.
-
- You should check out any "closed spaces" in the area --
- garages, etc. that the cat might have got shut into...
-
- I really hope you find your cat.
-
- It doesn't help after the fact, but after one cat
- disappeared I've vowed to always keep name tags with
- our phone number on all cats henceforth.
